Assembly Member Schiavo's proposal to enhance California's online reproductive health information hub would establish new requirements for maintaining and expanding the state's abortion services website. The legislation directs the State Department of Public Health to partner with a California-based nonprofit organization possessing expertise in reproductive healthcare content and resource sharing.
The bill specifies additional content requirements for the website, including evidence-based clinical guidelines, public health data, and educational materials previously hosted on federal platforms. The partnering organization must convene both stakeholder and community workgroups to guide content decisions. The stakeholder group would include state agencies and healthcare organizations, while the community workgroup would comprise youth representatives and individuals from communities facing systemic barriers to reproductive care.
Under the proposed changes, website content would undergo review and updates at least quarterly, rather than the current six-month interval. The legislation mandates mobile accessibility and translation into Spanish, Chinese, Tagalog, Vietnamese, and Korean. The Department of Public Health would conduct public outreach through government newsletters and partnerships with community organizations to promote awareness of the resource. Annual reports to the Legislature would document the website's reach and impact through aggregate usage statistics determined in consultation with the advisory workgroups.
